U.S. envoys arrive in Qatar for meetings on Iran amid tensions following weekend attacks
The U.S. and Iran are using Qatari mediators to discuss an interim deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease oil sanctions.
- On Tuesday, American special Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Doha, Qatar, for indirect talks with mediators regarding implementation of an initial deal to end the war in Iran.
- Earlier this month, the interim deal required Tehran to dilute its enriched uranium stockpile and waived American-backed oil sanctions while calling for free traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Tensions escalated Sunday when Iran attacked vessels, including a tanker carrying Qatari crude, and launched missile and drone strikes against Bahrain and Kuwait, drawing retaliatory American airstrikes.
- Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Ansari confirmed envoys will not conduct direct negotiations with Iranian diplomats; mediators act as go-betweens for technical meetings this week in Doha.
- Both nations have 60 days to negotiate broader agreements, a critical window given that previous rounds of talks collapsed into the 12-day war Israel launched against Iran in 2025.
